Allow 2 hours to get through it and if personalizing an ornament, start in section 8 first and get that done as lines are long, but move fairly fast. When checking out.....west end is usually congested. South end was much shorter.

Thank you, Curious27202611235, for taking the time to leave this review about Bronner's. Even though we have over 2.2 acres of salesroom space, our store does get a little congested on weekends during November and December. If you want to avoid the crowds and have room to shop, we recommend coming during the week around the holidays or even shopping during the summer months since a lot of our new stock is arriving then. Hope you can come back and visit us again!

When the lady asked if we needed a map upon entry from the south side, you knew it was going to be big. I have ordered from them for years and years and to see this operation in person, wow. Acres of ornaments and everything to do with Christmas. Really hard to make a selection because of the sensory overload. Highly recommend making a stop if you are in this area of Michigan.

Thank you, Cooltreats, for this "wow" review and recommendation! So happy that you were finally able to visit our store in person and that you had a good time. We do feature over 50,000 trims and gifts for all seasons, reasons, and budgets. With over 2.2 acres of salesroom space, we like to offer up a map to our guests as they enter so they know exactly where they are at and what there is to see as they are perusing the store. But then again the thrill of the hunt and enjoying the moment is always fun!

We really entertained to snoop around the long aisles of different Christmas novelties and items for nearly two hours. My wife was addicted to the Christmas items, so she found a perfect beautiful Chickadee lighted glow stand and for myself, I was thrilled to find a lovely hand-painted Dickens' Village Lighting the land miniature figure and a cool Dickens' Village gardener for hire miniature figure. All of them will be ready for our next Christmas.

No visit to Frankenmuth would be complete without a visit to the largest Christmas store. Anything Christmas can be purchased in this store, and they carefully package and ship purchases as a regular service. Our breakable items arrived very safe. After shopping, you have to visit the Silent Night Chapel, which pays tribute to this classic Christmas carol. It is very inspiring and worth visiting.

Thank you, Steve B, for this wonderful review and recommendation! So happy to hear that you had a great time while visiting Bronner's and found some much needed treasures. I agree that having the option to ship your purchase home while on a trip is so awesome. If anyone is thinking of doing that while here at Bronner's, just take your items to Customer Service in section 12. You will pay for all your prized possessions there along with the shipping fee. Your items will then be taken to the north building where our amazing shipping department will box everything carefully to ensure their safe arrival. How can you go wrong! :)

This was one of our main reasons to visit Frankenmuth and it did not disappoint! I love Christmas, so it was an obvious destination to go to for me. I filled a trolley with fabulous trimmings to take home to England. I have visited specialist Christmas shops in London, Edinburgh, New York, New Orleans, LA, all over the world and have to say that Bronner's was the best I have ever seen. Just when you thought you had seen it all, you turn another corner and a whole new room full of goodies opens out before you. We are definitely going to have to have a tree in every room to find space for all our goodies. Highly recommended as a must-see destination.

Well, needless to say it didn't disappoint. We went in July and it was a small crowd I would guess. Before going, I had the over and under somewhere between 5-8 hours and we stayed 6.
The Mrs. goes out for xmas and we came home with good stuff that we had to have shipped as we wouldn't have room on the plane.
We would definitely go again, if given the opportunity.
Their service was good and cooperative when we had them check on something.

Wow, garycL1444OG! Thank you so much for this wonderful review! That is music to our ears that our store didn't disappoint and that you received excellent service. So glad that you got to take advantage of our shipping services here to send home the items that were not going to fit on the plane.

Just anything you can imagine related to Christmas! Ornaments of every kind, lighting, trees, wreaths, village accessories, cards -- and even a small cafe. Staff is very helpful. If you buy so much you can't fit it in your car (LOL), they even have help with mailing your purchases. Lovely day spent!

I have been coming to Bronners for as long as it has been in existence. When I was a child, there was just 1 small store with Christmas decorations in Frankenmuth and it is amazing to see just how large Bronners has become. This was my parents absolute favorite place and my father loved everything Christmas. My parents are both gone now and it has been hard to walk into the store as it brings back so many memories, but wonderful as well, as their spirits live on through our visits. If you are looking for anything Christmas or any ornament for any occasion, occupation or hobby, this is the place to be......ornaments for every occasion and every walk of life. Be prepared to spend at least 2-3 hours or more as there is so much to see. I love the fact that the theme throughout the store is "It's HIS birthday; Enjoy LIfe, its HIS way!". You will find gifts that you will not find anywhere else. Thank you to the late Wally Bronner and the Bronner family for bringing Christmas, year round, to Frankenmuth and for the generations of families who will get to enjoy this magical place for years to come. If you have never been there, this is the 1st place you need to visit on your trip to Frankenmuth!!!!!

Definitely a must see! We try to make a stop here every time we are in the area. We never see the same thing twice! The staff is always helpful and friendly. We love to utilize the fun personalization!
I could go on and on about the items I love there. The variety of their villages are so detailed and always changing! They normally have a large amount of clearance bulbs for when money is a little tight for us.
My husband and I started collecting Egyptian glass ornaments, so we have to stop and add to our collection when we can! Our tree is covered in such one of a kind bulbs, and most of them were collected from Bronners! We even have real leaves that have been crafted into stunning ornaments. Just so special!

The usual amazing experience! Such a huge space of all things Christmas! We couldn't see everything in the hours we were there. As a Canadian, I found the cost of many things unaffordable thus it was basically a viewing excursion. Beautiful stuff!!!

Thank you, Edmanvan, for taking the time to leave this kind review! I am so sorry to hear that our prices and the Canadian exchange rate makes it hard to afford anything but so happy that you were able to come and enjoy the scenery and get in the Christmas spirit. If you are ever in the area again, please stop by and say "Hi!"

Do you supply electric scooter chairs for customers to use?
Written 13 May 2021
Hello, Jacqui! Bronner's does not have motorized chairs to use, but we do make regular wheelchairs available to our guests at no charge. If you don't want to haul your scooter all the way from Indiana and a manual wheelchair will not do, another option is to contact Leslie Rental in Frankenmuth at (989) 652-6693. They rent motorized carts and will arrange a delivery and pickup. Hope to see you soon!

How long is the average wait in line to get in? Due to COVID restrictions, I have heard it takes awhile before you can enter.
Written 28 September 2020
Thank you, Jennifer, for the question. The Governor of Michigan just raised retail capacity for stores our size so we are now allowed 5x's what we were able to until now, so not anticipating much if any wait in next few weeks.

There is a shuttle that runs between Zehnder's restaurant and Zehnder's Splash Village (which is right next door to Bronner's) that might be an option, but there is no public transportation.
